I'd figure out a way to squeeze anything else we need into URLs - we can do this with TEI XPTR's in one or two ways, and I suspect this would be a win for TEI too. That really leaves IDREF(S). So... <asbestos-undies>do SGML IDREFs really need to be subsumed into XML Link? They're already part of base XML. If they do, must we retain the current syntax, or can we URL-i-fy them, by putting '#' in front of IDREFs and/or inventing a couple of new schemes? Someone said that per web rules, we have to formalize what the part after a '#' means in XML anyhow. Ooh, I'm gonna get scorched.</asbestos-undies> -T.Received on Wednesday, 5 March 1997 15:54:19 EST
